For every buyer there is also a seller. Usually, with real estate that seller goes on to buy more real estate (or if they were a developer, build more buildings). It will take quite a while for prices to drop because the market is not entir

Having been to a number of commercial harbours I can assure you that a lot of them are not in the middle of nowhere but in the centre of some of the world's largest cities. Singapore, Hong Kong, Tainjin, Busan, Yokohama... Even Melbour

Many are bought without inspection and are not lived in. Some of the large apartment buildings in the north of the CBD and Docklands are largely empty while being completely sold.

20 million is probably a low estimate. I have previously worked with a farm owner to cull wild dogs (not dingos, mainly large dog breeds that went rogue). They attacked livestock so the owners had an economic need for getting rid of them. I

A much simpler tax system would be to tax everyone like hedge fund fees. You pay 2% tax on all assets and 20% on profits those assets generate. Regardless of asset type (if it is worth money and can be traded, it gets taxed). Ditch everythi

Unfortunately, Google Ireland (yes, that is who sells it) has priced the Nexus 6P at $899 AUD. That's a 25% mark up for absolutely no reason (Google isn't paying sales tax in Australia because they are selling from Ireland and cha

I cannot vote this up enough. There is no real evidence of significant differences between the sexes other than men are often physically bigger. Numerous studies have debunked garbage science about brain differences and whatnot because they

In my experience, driving is less safe than walking in snow. Granted I am still fairly young and fit so falling over is not a serious or life threatening concern. Road users significantly overestimate their ability to drive on difficult ter

Mountain papaya (Vasconcellea pubescens) will also grow in temperate to cold regions. I have seen them growing in areas that get heavy frosts (but the probably wouldn't cope with actual snow). Interestingly, yellow papayas are what I w

I think everyone has been overly harsh. While walking is not illegal almost anywhere it is nigh on impossible in many countries, for example the UAE. Walking may also be very, very dangerous to be out on the streets due to corruption, reckl

Greece is unlikely to pay back more than a small percentage of its current debt (it will default eventually, no country can lose a quarter of its GDP and then suddenly have surplus budgets). The current scheme is about turning Greece into a

Romantic relationships are also not somewhere where people should be punished for leaving because they were seduced by someone hotter and sexier either. People are not owned by anyone but themselves.

Some home owners are doing this. Charge the batteries with solar in the day and top up with offpeak if more is needed for the early morning (say if you are using electricity for heating in winter). Not entirely off the grid but minimizing c

Highly skilled workers lose out too. If you bring in several million dollars in value and you are working for a large company is your pay proportional to the amount of value you bring in? This is a common reason people leave in the tech sec

I think I should have clarified that this was for Australia. Yes, I can buy the US version and I probably will but the fact that Google is using dodgy regional pricing irks me.

Unfortunately it shows the 32gb version as $150 more expensive than the US version (at 449AUD or 426.51USD at today's rate). Plus they charge more for postage.
